Rated 5 out of 5 by Dahlia13 A change of pace
The venison stew has square chunks of meat, not a mushy consistency, which is a nice change of pace. It does not contain too much gravy, either.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Wiesia This product is great.
Ever since the dog food scare five years ago I changed my poodle’s brand. I’ve been buying Merrick brand – one of them is Venison Holiday Stew Homestyle Canned Dog Food. My dog loves it. For the last 5 years I bought other Merrick dinners – this one is his favorite. I trust the brand.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BentleyMom Picky pup loves it
I have tried everything with my yorkie mix from dry to dehydrated to raw. Everything caused problems or he got sick of it and started starving himself. Finally I found some healthy canned foods that he loves and this is one of them. He also likes Grammy's Pot Pie, Turducken, and Thanksgiving day dinner. The Venison Holiday Stew is his favorite, though. He has a healthy coat and great digestion on these foods. Will buy as long as he eats them!

Rated 5 out of 5 by SadiesMommy My dog loves this food
Our Wheaten Terrier is a very picky eater and we tried for months to find a food that she would eat. The Merrick Classic Grain Free recipes agree with her and she gobbles up her meals happily.
We are very pleased with this product and, since we live in New York City, ordering online from Chewy saves us money and trips to the pet store.

Rated 5 out of 5 by GuinnessMommy My dog goes nuts
My lab mix loves venison. She also loves some wet food mixed in with her dry food (Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream).
We tried a couple of different brands of canned food, but she wasn't too interested until we tried Merrick. When I bring a can into the house she goes wild, smacking her tail into the wall and follows me around until I put it in her bowl. She gets half a can with her evening feed, in addition to 1.25 cups of dry food. I use can covers and keep the rest in the fridge for the next day.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ESS1203 My Dogs Love Merrick Canned Food!
I use Merrick canned dog food to mix into my dogs' dry food everynight for their supper! They love it! I buy several cases at a time so my babies have enough for a different flavor every night for 2 weeks! Yes I spoil them, but only with the best! The vegetables, minerals and vitamins in every can is what got me to switch to Merrick, not to mention there are never any meat by-products but only REAL meat as the number 1 ingredient! I believe it's because of the dog food they eat that they're all healthy, happy and active! I have a 10 year old Plott hound, 10 year old Beagle, 9 year old American Stafforshire Terrier and a 6 year old pit bull mix and you'd never know they any of them were more then a few years old!

Rated 3 out of 5 by sibetribe Wish they both liked it..
It's a good quality food and I love that you only need about half as much of this as the wellness stews per day. The consistency of the chunks are like they were formed out of a paste though, unlike the wellness stew where it looks like actual venison.. could be why my boy won't touch it? My girl loves it though.

Rated 2 out of 5 by kokonuts6 Dog food okay as a back food
I bought this canned dog food for my dogs since they were out of Taste of Wild canned food. My three dogs don't really care for it like they do Taste of Wild. They will only eat it after it has sat there all day and they are getting hungry. Won't buy this again when were in a bind.
